Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, you sometimes speak in wonders,
unmistakable and clear,
mighty signs to prove your presence,
overcoming doubt and fear.
2 Lord, you sometimes speak in whispers,
still and small and scarcely heard;
only those who want to listen
catch the all-important word.
3 Lord, you sometimes speak in silence,
through our loud and noisy day:
we can know and trust you better
when we quietly wait and pray.
4 Lord, you often speak in Scripture,
words that summon from the page,
shown and taught us by your Spirit
with fresh light for every age.
5 Lord, you always speak in Jesus,
always new yet still the same:
teach us now more of our Saviour,
make our lives display his Name. Topics: The Holy Spirit in the Church Illumination of God's Word; Jesus incarnation; Scripture; Word of God Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-12 Used With Tune: STUTTGART
